The college fantasy football season continues on into Week 2. Get ready for your DraftKings contests with CFBDynasty's top DFS picks and values.

The Week 2 slate of games for college fantasy football provides some more clarity after a few teams were exposed in their opening matchups. Chip Kelly and UCLA got off to a rough start losing to Cincinnati, and it will be much tougher for them as they travel to face Oklahoma this week. Georgia at South Carolina and Clemson at Texas A&M are also two huge games to watch, but they are likely games to avoid in DFS contests this week.

Some of the highest scoring games as projected by Vegas include Arizona at Houston (with Khalil Tate needing a bounceback game), Arkansas at Colorado State (featuring recently announced starter Ty Storey at QB for Chad Morris and the Hogs), and Rice at Hawaii (which will play in the wee hours of Sunday morning on the East Coast).

Now, let's take a look at Saturday’s best starts, value picks, and top sleepers for Week 2 DraftKings contests.

College Fantasy Football DFS Picks: QBs

Best start: Kyler Murray, Oklahoma vs. UCLA ($11,000): Murray only had to throw the ball 11 times against Florida Atlantic to amass 200 yards and two TDs. A matchup with Chip Kelly's Bruins should give him many more opportunities to put up big numbers with neither team really valuing time of possession.

Best Value: Adrian Martinez, Nebraska vs. Colorado ($8,900): Weather delayed Martinez's college football debut, but look for big things from this talented freshman in Week 2.

Sleeper: Blake Barnett, South Florida vs. Georgia Tech ($7,500): Week 1 was a great start to Barnett's USF career, as he racked up 300 passing yards and four total TDs. He has an opportunity to repeat those numbers this week against Georgia Tech.

College Fantasy Football DraftKings Picks: RBs

Best start: Jonathan Taylor, Wisconsin vs. New Mexico ($10,100): In Week 1, Taylor had 18 carries for 145 yards and two TDs in less than three quarters. This week he gets another cupcake matchup at home against New Mexico.

Best Value: Karan Higdon, Michigan vs. Western Michigan ($7,500): Michigan had trouble with their offense in Week 1. Look for them to try and get back to Wolverine ground-and-pound football against the Broncos.

Sleeper: Brittain Brown, Duke @ Northwestern ($5,500): Brown played well in his first game, putting up 75 yards and a TD on 11 carries. While Northwestern is tougher to run against, he is still a good value pick.

Best Value: Jerry Jeudy, Alabama vs. Arkansas State ($7,200): As the new No. 1 wideout at Alabama, Jeudy will have even more opportunities to build on the two TD Week 1 performance.

Sleeper: Laviska Shenault, Colorado @ Nebraska ($5,900): Shenault came out of nowhere in Week 1 to put up 200 yards and a TD on 11 receptions. Week 2 provides an opportunity to prove himself against a tougher opponent.
